When they "went to the house of God," (ver. 18,) it was not to enquire concerning the expediency of the war, nor of its success, but which of the tribes should begin the attack: and here the question is, "Shall I go up again to battle against the children of Benjamin my brother?" Having so much right on their side, they had no doubt of the justice of their cause, and the propriety of their conduct; and having such a superiority of numbers, they had no doubt of success. But God humbled them, and delivered them into the hands of their enemies; and shewed them that the race was not to the swift, nor the battle to the strong.Judges 20:28

enquired.In what way David made this enquiry we are not told; but it was probably by means of Abiathar; and therefore it would seem, that with Houbigant, we should read the sixth verse immediately after the first.--This adventure was truly noble and patriotic. Had not David loved his country, and been above all motives of private and personal revenge, he would have rejoiced in this invasion of Judea, as producing a strong diversion in his favour, and embroiling his inveterate enemy. In most cases, a man with David's wrongs would have joined with the enemies of his country, and avenged himself on the author of his calamities; but he thinks of nothing but succouring Keilah, and using his power and influence in behalf of his brethren. 4,6,9-12; 30:8; Nu 27:21; Jos 9:14; Jud 1:1; 2Sa 5:19,231Ch 14:10; Ps 32:8; Pr 3:5,6; Jer 10:23 Behold.15,23,26; Ps 11:1; Jer 12:5 yet again.28:6; Jud 6:39for I will.Jos 8:7; Jud 7:7; 2Sa 5:19; 2Ki 3:181 Samuel 23:11-12
